On June 14 my attention was called, by Dr. L. E. Case, to a 

 mule in the I'ublic Works stables whicli had a suspicious dis- 

 charge from the nose. 



In company with Dr. Case I made an examination of the ani- 

 mal, with the following description : 



Alule ; female ; about 20 years old ; was crippled to 

 some extent by a fall on the knees. The animal had 

 been losing flesh for some time and the knees were heal- 

 ing very slowly. There was a bi-lateral discharge from 

 the nose and nimicrdus ulcers upon the nasal septum; 

 sub-maxillary glands slightly swollen. 

 I made no conclusive diagnosis but regarded the animal as 

 showing symptoms appproaching those of glanders and ordered 

 its immediate removal to the Ouarantine Station, there to be sub- 

 jected to the Mallein test by Dr. L. \\. Case. Dr. Case was fur- 

 ther instructed to give the entire stables a careful and thorough 

 disinfection, full particulars being given him as to the method, 

 atid all litter in the yards raked together and buried. The disin- 

 fecting took place under my sui)ervision and the stables i^rt^t- 

 nounced clerm after a final inspection by 1)'-. Xorgaard an.l 

 myself. 



Upon seeing the mule at the Ouarantine Station Dr. \'(")rgaard 

 pronounced the case as one of bLpizootic Lymphangitis and pre- 

 dicted the failure of the test to show a reaction, which diagnosis 

 and prediction were substantiated by Dr. I,. I'.. Case's report of 

 no reaction frf)m the Mallein test. 



On |une 17 the mule and a glandered horse belonging to I'. M. 

 I'ond. which we hafl had at the station ftir si>me time and which 

 had reacted to several methods of M.allein testing, were taken to 

 the Channel wharf where ihev were shot and towed out to sea.
